Go forth and experiment in this mystic state Alchemist The entire multiverse watches your efforts with interest

Heh I wish that raptor construct bad luck

After the first point Randidly spent the rest of his MuseÆs Reverie More and more invitations spread out across the gathered people offerings to become a part of his existence His Class hummed even before they acceptedù it reacted to even the possibility of his Legend growing to include a whole new population

After spending four points of MR Randidly paused He definitely wanted to invite more people into his Alpha Cosmos But he also took a moment to consider the benefits he could earn if he instead activated a different Fatepiece effect

Of the possible effects he only felt tempted by the use of the Codex Hexahedron RandidlyÆs gaze drifted up to the edges of the memory and out into the world But even in this paused existence of reverie and patterns he could feel the pulse of ElhumeÆs image He pressed his lips together as he toyed with the idea and then discarded it While knowing whether his theories about what originally happened at the end of the Second Cohort would be nice that didnÆt change the fact he would need to fight this brutal tyrant

And activating the ReverieÆs ability against one who had reached the Pinnacle made Randidly feel leery Just the connection to the ProphetÆs strange spiritual leader had been able to weaken the usage Randidly didnÆt want to find out what targeting a powerful individual directly would cause

Releasing a sigh Randidly poured out the last two points of MR More and more invites flowed out of his body Tiny threads of energy wound their way from the invited individual to the crystal clear orb floating in front of him demonstrating the path they would take if they accepted the invite and joined his world

Randidly shifted slightly almost tugging on all the threads They glittered in the air as he moved flashing to show how numerous the connections he had offered were A part of Randidly felt strange to be pulling so many individuals into his Alpha Cosmos he had expected the amount to be much more limiting but he could only chuckle quietly

Yes well IÆve already got a strange sort of stew going in my Soulskill a few more millions cant hurt

With his last point of MR spent the sensations began to fade The universal understanding of the patterns of the world which had granted him that brief power receded Some insights lingered due to the growth of his Skills but most would vanish

However the activation of the Reverie granted him one last notification

Due to the first activation of Keystone of the First Ghasthund in the Reverie a special effect has been granted Building Blocks of the Mythic Alpha Cosmos Resonance with the special benefit of your Soulskill has occurred

For each individual who accepts your invitation from the first batch of invites you will receive a Tithe of 01 PP

As the world settled around him Randidly blinked slowly and considered those worlds His skin prickled Receiving 01 PP from the first batch 7 396 000 invites possibly as much as an extra 73k PP

Due to an accepted invitation you have earned 01 PP (a single PP will be granted when a sufficient amount has been gathered)

Chapter 2346

Outside of the Sonara events marched toward a dramatic conclusion Randidly made his preparations but so did others

In a deep secret area of the Nexus Actus Suprem Devick wielded her twisted chains to follow out all the connections of Fates and prepare to bind them back into a sewn together body Crimson and black energy bolts crackled out from the careful chains that flowed through the entire Nexus The flickering form of Elhume watched his attention occasionally shifting to the cracked and disintegrating Sonara above them

Devick would not finish before the Sonara finally collapsed but her efforts would be brought to bare soon enough And the Actus SupremÆs image might be distracted for now but when it announced its demands she could not be denied

Yet these werenÆt the only details becoming relevant for the approaching climax

From the core area of the Sonara a portion which had already begun to disintegrate into smaller pieces a crystal casket dropped slowly down along with chunks of metal and stone The energy suppression runes across its face meant that many of the scavengers that swooped through the debris missed its particular value That piece tumbled down through the starry nebula further and further away from the central seat of Nexus power

Eventually that container of crystal struck a random hunk of space rock in its fall toward the oblivion of Pine Considering the percentage of empty space to debris it was an extremely unlikely event The Engravings across the coffinÆs surface flickered and died as a small crack ran through the defenses Steaming mist hissed out through the opening A split second later a swirling world state image escaped and began to probe at the surroundings

Finding no immediate resistance the image began to work more quickly

The Monarch of Karma hewn away from the Patron of TruthÆs influence by Elhume and then isolated to fuel a portion of the Sonara began to wake from his long enforced slumber

Yet from the collapsing portions of the Sonara came even more new variables A large group of individuals appeared from the Upper Sonara including the companions with which Randidly had traveled under an Ascension Pact Pullas and Fiona Already the metallic liger Xershi had departed seeking to understand his own existence after encountering his creator and having his worldview shattered on their journey

Small broken pieces of significance fizzled along the edges of these individuals hinting that their interactions had not yet been completed

The leader of the Upper Sonara Society Tuthak Eloise undulated his tentacles as he considered the group that manifested around him A smile stretched across his face and his voice boomed out through space The time for our Grand Return has come allies No longer will we allow Elhume to monopolize the wondrous potential of the Nexus Our destinies and the destiny of this entire universe will be our own

Across from them a new portal opened The Xyrt Brigade streamed out pivoting instantly to combat their spreading images And whereas the images of the Upper Sonara Society had been fueled with dreams the images of the Xyrt Brigade had been reinforced by iron and violence

Elsewhere Don Beigon sat in his bamboo chair For the first time in years emotions threatened to drown out his resolve

He looked at a small picture frame held in his hand and a single tear rolled down his cheek His wifeÆs familiar smirk stared up at him He didnÆt bother to wipe the tear away Ah Diane If you were here you would laugh at me wouldnÆt you For waiting this long for delaying for checking every threat to be sure that nothing could go wrong

RandidlyÆs eyes glazed over at the massive list of Paths he could choose Since he had last looked the list had certainly exploded with interesting options At least fourteen new Paths waited for him most of which he wanted to see through to the end He scanned the list a second time and began removing options While there was a portion of his heart that wanted to finish small Paths and earn a few assorted odd Skills the confrontation with Elhume could be only hours away He supposed it was possible to flee down toward the present Pine to extend time but that course of action would come with consequences
